Back In Time (Live) - Graham Parker[00:00:00]
Written by:Graham Park[00:00:02]
You stop in the old cafe where you used to play pinball[00:00:12]
And look for the air-raid shelter but it's gone and the cafe seems so[00:00:17]
Small and all the gardens that had trees and stolen apples[00:00:21]
Now have small businesses flourishing in cinder blocks[00:00:25]
Then they will call your name and hand you a gold watch[00:00:28]
Then they will call your name but it doesnt sound like much[00:00:32]
And you'll never discover why it's like an old lover[00:00:37]
You can't touch anymore it doesn't mean much anymore[00:00:41]
When you go back in time back in time[00:00:45]
You head down to the local try to find a focal point[00:00:55]
A scratch in the wallpaper but it's all been wallpapered over[00:00:59]
Down at the newsagents it's all pornography[00:01:04]
And you try to get high again but it's like time-lapse photography[00:01:07]
Then they will call your name and hand you a medal[00:01:11]
Or something more practical like a whistling kettle[00:01:15]
And itll test your metal just try to keep grinning[00:01:20]
Knowing that this feeling is indulgence worse than sinning[00:01:24]
Trying to go back in time[00:01:28]
Photographs with a glossy finish letters lovers never finished[00:01:56]
And there in a dusty drawer a necktie you once wore[00:02:00]
And a girl you tried to court made you feel about two feet short[00:02:05]
Where is she now today what would she have to say[00:02:08]
Then they will call your name and hand you a pension[00:02:12]
A bottle of pills that guarantee life extension[00:02:16]
And give you a mention in the local boy makes good section[00:02:20]
But all the old news is like print stains across your mind[00:02:24]
When you go back in time[00:02:28]
Yes all this old news is just print stains across your mind[00:02:32]
When you go back in time back in time[00:02:36]
Back back in time[00:02:45]
Back back in time[00:02:49]
